TEXAS ROLLERGIRLS SEASON OPENER

I am designing the Silk Screen Poster for this event. In preperation for that I had to use the concept for the Digital version as well. of course the final silk screen will not have all of the type treatment that this has, and will be more pure. This years posters are all going to be based on Comic Book Covers. I obviously used the EC/Tales from the Crypt/ Horror comics for this one.
New Podcast this Week. I got some good Austin Punk bands to throw in this time around.

2008 Season Opener - March Madness

After a long, dark winter, a new season has finally arrived to the heart of Texas—a season that heralds the sounds of young skaters pounding the crap out of each other and the fresh scent of skate pads ripening on the track. That season, of course, is roller derby season, the loveliest season of them all!

Derby turns over its new leaf on Sunday, March 2nd, as those divas in purple and silver, the Hustlers, face off against the rough-and-ready Honky Tonk Heartbreakers. Both of these teams made out like bandits during the off-season draft pick, adding some of the most talented skaters in the country to their rosters. The teams are well matched in skill and desire, and this bout is sure to signal the "ones to watch" for 2008.

The second bout the evening is a rematch of the smokin' 2007 championship match-up, showcasing the scrappiest schoolgirls on 4 wheels, the Hell Marys, versus the formidable Hotrod Honeys. After a tough loss back in August, the "always-a-bridesmaid, never-a-bride" Honeys are looking to go all the way to the championship altar this season. Come out to Playland, Sunday, March 2nd and see it all unfold!

We rollergirls are badasses on the track, but when a sister takes a tumble -- on her skates or in her life -- we lend a helping hand. Our spotlight charity on March 2 is the YWCA of Greater Austin. Incorporated in 1907, the YWCA of Greater Austin is committed to providing women and girls with opportunities for life-long learning through workshops, groups, classes, community service and fund-raising events.

Multimedia Games Burrito Jam

For the last couple of years my new workplace, Multimedia Games has had a charity event benefitting Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Being new I was asked to create the artwork for this years event.
Here is the Art. I went with this kind of Dr. Strangelove meets Frreebirds thing.

Freebirds is donating the burritos. If you'd like to donate some money to BBBS on my behalf please do so by going here Link

new hotrod honeys logo

SO I was asked to come up with and idea for a new hotrod honeys logo. Here was my submission. Looks like they responded to it.
I will be taking it into illustrator and vectorizing it. They wanted somethign that could appeal to both men and women. This is the low res version.

Texas Rollergirls Whammy Review Video

Texas Rollergirls had their awards ceremony on Sunday. Its called the Whammy awards. To that end Dagger Deb and I worked on the end of the year video montage. The video came for the years worth of bout footage taken by Michael Colins. The song we chose was a mash up of Missy Elliot and Kill Bill called Kill Missy. Bass211 did the mash up that I found online. They have a lot of great mash ups hereLink
It was fitting since it was an Asian themed event. I also put together the presentation of the awards and nominees. Dagger helped me work on the Retiree song and images as well it was a great event.
So for your viewing pleasure here is the end of year clip.

Rice Rocket Vans
